FAQs

What is Nectar?

Nectar is an employee experience platform that brings recognition, communications, engagement, and performance together in one place, with AI agents that handle the busywork and surface what your people need. Recognition, announcements, and surveys all run in one connected system, so your employees get one experience instead of scattered ones.

What do Nectar's AI agents actually do?

Nectar's agents work in the background on the logistics of your program. They surface milestones before they're missed, answer questions about your recognition and survey data, and turn activity across the platform into insights you can act on. They handle the admin work so recognition and connection still come from people, not software.

Does Nectar work for frontline and deskless employees?

Yes. Employees don't need a work email or a desk to take part. Recognition, announcements, and surveys reach people by text, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the mobile app, so frontline, remote, and in-office teams all get the same experience.

What tools does Nectar integrate with?

Nectar connects to the HRIS, payroll, and messaging tools you already use, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, UKG, ADP, and Workday, so employee data stays current and recognition shows up where people already work.

Can I start with just recognition, or do I need the whole platform?

You can start with recognition alone. Nectar is priced per employee per month, and you can add communications, engagement, Flows, and Signals whenever you're ready. Everything runs on the same platform, so nothing needs to be rebuilt as you grow.
